“You lied to my son! You lied to Ronnie! You filthy slut! I’m going to beat you to death!”
Even with Colton trying to shield Darlene from Stella, they both still got whacked plenty of times.
Stella continued to tear the entire house apart, sweeping glasses and beer bottles to the ground. Everything that was breakable was swept to the floor by her broom.
Before leaving, Stella warned them, saying, “Just you wait, Darlene Williams! I’m going to

make life hell for you!”
The front door had been left wide open for the whole scene, which attracted the attention of many of our neighbors. They stood at the door and watched the entire drama unfold.
Colton and his friend had also gotten beaten up. He stared at me with pure hatred in his eyes, looking as if he was going to rush at me and beat the living shit out of me.
However, right at that moment, Darlene suddenly clutched her stomach and started to wail.
Blood was pouring out from her lower body, and she looked as if she was about to lose her baby.
Colton’s face paled at once. He didn’t even bother coming at me anymore before scooping Darlene into his arms and running out the door with her.
Jett got up and ran after him, but not before giving me a hard shove when he passed by me.
I dusted my shoulders off in disgust.
My body was still very weak after the miscarriage, so I went back into my bedroom and shut my eyes to get some rest.
I didn’t know how much time had passed when I heard a loud noise at the door.
Colton barged into the room and saw the huge mess on the floor. He then walked over to me and told me to get up with a dark look on his face.
“Have you lost your mind, Gianna Larkin? How could you tell that crazy bitch to come? Are you finally happy now that you’ve made life difficult for Darlene?”
Seeing that I wasn’t responding, he slammed his fists on the table.
“Darlene nearly had a miscarriage! And the Hunters are now bringing her to court for divorce! Everything is your fault! You’re such an evil witch, you hear me? I can’t bear living with you anymore. I’m divorcing you!”
Every time Colton knew he was on the losing end of an argument, he liked using divorce to threaten me to submit to him.
Last time, I used to love him so much that whenever he threatened me with it, I would immediately cave in and cry, begging him to forgive me and not abandon me.
But this time, I just nodded slightly and said, “Then, just sign the documents.”
Silence ensued for a full 30 seconds.
Colton stared at me in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
“I said, sign the documents. That’s all.”
I raised my hand, tapped on my phone, and sent him another copy of the divorce

agreement.
Suddenly, Colton raised his voice at me and yelled, “You’re trying to threaten me with this dirty trick of yours, aren’t you? Over my dead body! How dare you run right after causing harm to Darlene? I’ll never consider it unless you apologize to her!”
